Summer School on the Use of Chatbots in Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences
Event date:
Event location: Campus Neuville University CY Cergy Pariz (Francija)
CY Cergy Paris University, a partner university within the EUTOPIA Alliance, is organizing a summer school this year on the topic of digital media and the use of chatbots in research. The summer school is intended for master’s students, doctoral students, and researchers in the humanities and social sciences who are engaged in research on the digital space. The summer school will take place from June 15 to 19. Applications are being accepted until May 15.
Summer School Topic Groups
Chatbots have become a ‘part of the pipeline’ in a number of research methodologies in the social sciences and humanities, contributing to formatting, summaries, annotation, labelling and the generation of synthetic data. One question is how to go about using chatbots in the first place for such research tasks and make use of the many best practice guides that have been shared across the research landscape. The summer school will address the following questions and dilemmas related to the use of chatbots:
- Introduction: Chatbots for Internet Research?
- Prompting strategies and ‘research personas’,
- Annotating and classifying, reflexively,
- Auditing LLMs. How offensive and sensitive are they?
- Synthetic data. How real is it?
- Conclusions: Machine-researcher alignment and misalignment.
